Google Cargo Ship

Google Merchant Center seems to be rolling out a new reporting feature that lets you build your own performance report. You should be able to access this in the Google Merchant Center under the "Performance" tab.

Brodie Clark spotted this update and posted about it on Twitter. He said he is "seeing new reporting functionality (both paid/unpaid) in Google Merchant Center. Wasn't there previously, at least in Australia. From an SEO POV, allows you to create custom dashboards for Surfaces Across Google data."
